Well that turned into a flogging. Atletico ran out of legs.
Simeone hasn't done his reputation any good carrying on like a turkey.
Ronaldo....such a show pony too. I find it so hard to like him. Great player and all that but there's something about him I just can't stomach.
Ati had it won threw it away. Nice to see the home grown junior Real boys got the job done.
Thought it was a good final, lots of drama etc.
thought Bale was fairly awful but then bobbed up for the (first) 'winner'. Terrible knee slide though. Will give him something to practice whilst all the good countries are at the World Cup.
Simeoné though, what a nutter. Why did he go after the Real bloke at the end? Anyone see what happened?
Haven't read most of the posts reagarding the game but my honest opinion was that in the end the result reflected the match. I was hoping that Athletico would win but the huge spenders deserved it in the end.
Tell me why with pretty well the last corner of the game would you not have 2 players guarding both sticks. Is it just something that doesnt happen anymore in professional football and only at amateur level. If theres a bloke on the back stick there is no goal there.
Same thing with the FA cup final Hulls 1st goal would have been easily cleared of the line if there was a back stick man.
slavish dedication to a defensive system often leads to shit like this happening. you have blokes running round like mad following players etc, and then they seem to forget the fundamentals of positioning on set pieces.
as a keeper as well, i can assure you that the defenders were probably not listening
yeah as much of a fairy tale story it has been for atleti this season, they've been rather dour at times and you can't begrudge an attacking team like real winning the comp.
people have been saying that they were hard done by with real scoring so late on but did atleti actually create a clear chance in the game? their goal was a farce from a set-piece.
Real Madrid shits me because they spend so much money. Like, I know that's the business, but what do people expect, them to lose? Real winning doesn't excite me as a neutral supporter. I guess we all love an underdog. But Madrid play in la liga which recently is basically a 2 horse race each year with a random club making a challenge every so often. I admit I don't follow it much but it seems real disregard development, buy somebody that is killing it somewhere and pay a lot for them. Eg bale recently and Oezil after his breakthrough World Cup.
